posted on 2008-09-16 13:40 EDT by Egan Loo

Anime based on creatures that are part bean, part Shiba dog

The official Japanese website of the Mameshiba characters announced last Friday that a new anime production is in the works for an October release on television and on the website. Mameshiba are mysterious creatures that are not quite beans nor Shiba dogs, but something in between. The new animation will be previewed on Taito Booth arcade amusement machines from Thursday until Saturday. Taito Booth machines have been offering Mameshiba plush figures and keychain mascots since the end of August.
